Sustainable finance, the impact of the European taxonomy on the construction sector

In a world where the sustainability of goods and processes is becoming ever more critical, it is equally imperative to identify realistic ways to finance this transition to greater sustainability.

For some years now, the issue of sustainable financing has been under discussion, with the establishment of a European Platform on Sustainable Financing to identify schemes that bring the market and different sectors more in line with the environmental ambitions of the European Union.

In this context, the ongoing development of an EU regulation on taxonomy and related delegated acts raises many questions and concerns, especially in a sector as unique as construction.

Although the European taxonomy is seen as a facilitator of the contribution of construction to the EU’s climate objectives, its concrete implementation and impact in daily activities remain unclear. Moreover, construction companies fear that a non-alignment with the taxonomy will jeopardise their business by hindering access to finance, especially for the vast majority of SMEs that make up the industry.
